Big Sky Question

[vc10]

Can someone please provide me with the 2 year FO and 4 year Captain pay for a 50-seat RJ for Big Sky?

Comparing crew pay across the regionals---Big Sky is hard to find.

Thanks

Is this a serious question, or a serious hint?


If a question, Big Sky does not operate the RJ's. They operate Metroliners. I've heard somewhere that they have laid-off 10 pilots recently.

Big Sky has a pay rate for 50 seat RJ's. Doesn't matter if they're on the property or not, they have the scale.

I too would like to see it.

So, if they have RJ pay scales, are there plans to bust the Mesaba union as everybody expects?

 

[sf3boy]

Perhaps. Mesaba management is using the same law office that Mesa management uses. Our COO sleeps with a copy of the Mesa contract under his pillow. The NWA MEC passed a resolution that only Mesaba and Pinnacle would be flying jets with red tails. I doubt that NWA management really cares about a resolution.

The rumor is that Mesaba is pitching Big Sky to United to use as a Lower Cost Carrier. When strike time comes at Mesaba, you can bet that NWA will be telling the Mesaba management to tell the pilots that if they strike, all the flying will go to Big Sky. Classic NWA. Express loses flying while in contract talks to Mesaba. NWA loses routes while in talks to the RJ-85 at Mesaba. Now it is our turn to loose out.

sf3boy,
Our contract states we cannot fly a struck route.

 

[sf3boy]

gqmetrodriver,

Mesaba is not on strike. I only said that OUR management has been telling us that if we act out (want a decent contract) the flying that we are currently doing may be farmed out elsewhere. Best of luck to you over at Big Sky.
